JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Question Bank Solution of quadratic equations and Nature of roots

  • question_answer
    If the roots of equation \[{{x}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}=8x+6a\] are real, then [MP PET 1999]

    A) \[a\in [2,\,8]\]

    B) \[a\in [-2,\,8]\]

    C) \[a\in (2,\,8)\]

    D) \[a\in (-2,\,8)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since the roots \[{{x}^{2}}-8x+{{a}^{2}}-6a=0\] are real. \ \[64-4({{a}^{2}}-6a)\ge 0\]or \[{{a}^{2}}-6a-16\le 0\] Þ  \[a\in [-2,8]\]
